UavhtitRinn Pioneer Pae. TTIOHNTON Wh . April 37. (API I. B. Htiirhe. 77, ore of the earliest pioneers cf :-M trvinn, dropped dead at his heme heie Are We Going Broke? SCARCELY a day passes aiome politician in Washington doesn't get up on bis hind legs and declar this country is going broke. With a record-breaking debt, national and local, and with millions still being spJnt, this declaration meets with considerable Hffirniation, and psychologically another nail is driven in the coffin of defeatism and despair. But let's analyze this wail of disaster for a moment. Just hnw near IS this country to the rocks of complete financial collapse! TO determine this fact it is, of course, necessary to consider this country just as one would consider an individual, in a similar predicament. Let it be assumed everyone is saying John Jones is going broke. He is spending money, like a drunken sailor, his debts are increasing, his income declining, he has one foot in a pauper'a grave, the other will soon follow. . To determine the truth or falsity of that statement what do we do! Well we figure what Jones' total debt is; the rate at which it is increasing, we figure the income to set against it, the wealth of the man, and the extent of-his credit. Now when a man's credit is still good, we don't regard his use of that credit, as a sure sign of his immediate bankruptcy. Why should we then-in the case of Uncle Samf , Uncle Sam's credit today is not only good, it is about. four A's excellent. Government bonds are not only still at par, but many of them above. True Uncle Sam is still borrowing money, but no one denies he has the credit to borrow still MORE. . . NOW how about his wealth! Wealth, of course, is compara tive, it is therefore illuminating to compare Uncle Sam's wealth, with other nations, with his contemporaries, with those whose financial conditions are perfectly sound and solvent. John Bull is a good example. Everyone agrees the United Kingdom hs not only balanced its budget', bnt is operating at a profit, and is as far from national bankruptcy as it is from the South Pole. Well let's look at his financial statement. N On a per capita basis which is the only way to figure it, Great Britain's total debt (national and local) is $991, and this country's totnl debt rer capita (national arid local) is only $370. How about the tax burden! The total tax. burden per capita in England is 33 MORE than in the United States. How about wealth! This figure per capita irt England is $2,514; in the United States it is $3,259. How about the relation of national debt to wealth! In Eng land this figure is 37.3; in the United States it is only T.6. How about income! In England the average income is $415, in this country $734. j .... ... 'T'l'lS relation between the financial condition of this country, and countries other than England, is even more startling and more favorable to Uncle Sam. In France, for example, wenlth per capita is only $1653, in Italy $725 and in Japan (they are mtikini; money hands over list in Japan!) $636, compared to $3,25!) here. Now if any private individual could show h financial state ment like that would liis immediate insolvency be predicted? Credit excellent, debt per capita, low; the outlook for better business conditions and therefor? in - i income, at least goodf Obviously not. don't claim the country's financial situation to be per- feet, we don't deny the present rate of expenditures and increase in debt, can't be continued .INDEFINITELY; nor do we question, that the national budget should be balanced as soon as it can be, that is as soon as the relief needs of our people can be DEFINITELY known, but we do maintain that This talk about the country hanging on the precipice of financial collapse, needing only a push to suffer complete bankruptcy is a lot of hooey and does not conform in any way, shape or manner, "WITH THE FACTS. And finally, Walter, it is possible, we merely said POS SIBLE, that you are all wrong in your diagnosis. It is our opinion, for example, that women vote just about as intelligently as men vote and just about as stupidly. As we see it, there is practically no difference between them. In which case of course the entire effort to prohibit straw ballots would be silly, and something less, Walter, than "much ado about NOTHING."

MORBID INFORMATION LEAPS TO INHAPPINESS If a child Inherits any social dis ease from Its parents, asks a reader, how will It manifest Itself? In othor words, the reader requests me to send symp- tomi on a p -proval. Want to try them on. and If they ault hts taste he'll them. If syphilis which la latent, cot active for the time being. For the enlightenment of people who may be the victims of vicious gossip, I wish to point out the In significance of any symptoms or signs which purport to Indicate that a child or an adult has syphilis. Only a physician can give a reasonably fair opinion as to the significance of any keeP j such symptoms or signs and his opln- nuw ion requires a check with the blood when him. There have been occasions this cursed column has displayed as sorted symptoms as temptingly as possible with the avowed purpose of catching em young, so to speak, get ting their Interest or attention so we could influence their habits and per haps prevent further loss of health. But from the first, believe It or not. Ol' Doc Brady hna had a conscience, and acccrdingty symptoms have not had much of a p'ay here. By "any social disease" the reader who submits the query means syph ilis. The Is the only "social' disease likely to be "inherited." n truih syphilis is not Inherited, tho too olten it Is congenital that is. present at the birth of the child. It may be stnted emphatically that while we know that syphilis may be transmitted dlr tly from parent to child, there is no around for the com mon nation that this dl.e.iw may b? transmitted "unto the third anrl fourth generation " I am speaking now of the fperiflc disease which we recognize today as syphilis, and not of any consequent or concomitants or this of other serious disease. So a child cannot "inherit" svphllls. Unless the child has syphilis when born, It will not develop any manifes tations of the disease Inter on. The infection of the child by syph ilis Is contact infection, from the mother. Usually the father has the disease, infects the mother, and she In turn transmit the disease to the unborn baby. The spirochetes or cau sative otinnl7.ms of the disease in the mother's blood p:is Into the blood cf the developing child. Formerly It was the belief of physicians th.it In some instances a syphilitic father mlg.it transmit the dlse.ise to his child without infection of the mother, but we know now that this was an error of observation. n. proved by the Was serman blood test which shows that the mo-.her In si.ch Instance has Straw Ballots and the Ladies IT is Hurpriniug that Congwsnian Walter Pierce, the husband of sunh a charming and capable woman as Mrs. Tierce, should low view of women politically. (Or perhaps that's -women in the mass, fall so far short of his realized have such a the reason, ideal.) At any rate, "Our Walter," wants all straw ballots made illegal, because they have an improper and pernicious influence on elections, particularly as far as the ladies are concerned. The ladies, in Walter's judgment, are chronic band-wagon climbers, they neither analyze the issues nor carefully judge the candi dates, but just try, like the inveterate gamblers they are, to pick the winner. Having picked the winner, they disregard every other consideration to be on the winning side So the winner in the straw ballot contest gets the woman vote, which is not as it should be. If Walter has his way, he will prevent the transmission of straw ballots through the U. S. mails, the Literary Digest (and the Medford Mail Tribune) notwithstanding! DIj'T if Walter IS correct in his analysis of feminine political psychology, will such a prohibition help him much! We doubt it. If the women vote CAN be secured, merely bv fouvincinir them a candidate is winner ther r other whs to do tliis, than by sending straw ballots through the post office. There is the radio for c.vample. Theie are hand bills. there are stump speeches, straw ballot bootleggers, and finally and perhaps more important, there is the ingrained disposition of the gentler sex, to laugh at locksmiths, and by fair means or foul, get their own way eventually. If the women WANT to pick a winner before the ballots are counted. Ivlicvc yon me, Walter, they are going to do it. If they can't do it one way, they will do it another. You can put up all the lawn you like, and get .lim Farley to help you; but if this political passion to be on the winning side is what you SAY it is, the gals will get the dope somehow, and just make a monkey out of you. C0 our advice to yon, Walter, is forget it After all with the country in its present mess, there are more important things th. in straw balluts n consider; more important issues to take up the time of congress, which has wasted loo much time already. he'll have still an j teat to make It good enough to go oil. other doctor's: ao the buaybodles and the neighbor name to add to hood gorrlps only betray their malice the long list of when they start whlaperlng thla can doetors wh o dal about any child, couldn't diagnose This disease Is decledly Infectious nis case or neipi through venoreal or through ordinary contact In the first two or three years, but person" with old syphilitic lesions, that Is. of more than three years standing, are no longer a men ace to those who come In ordinary contact with them.

Yet here Is one of the nation's great corporations BOASTING that It haa more employees over fiO than un der 30 and asserting that because of this situation It is enabled to keco quality up and cost down.
